So we were driving to see 'Iron Man' (or Istriwallah as they say in India) when Layla mentions Mary Magdalene.Intrigued, I prodded for more information "What do you know of Mary Magdalene"Layla: "She's that old girl from the Bible. She discovered a fossil"Me: "A fossil?"Layla: "Yes, a fossil of a dinosaur"Me: "A dinosaur"Layla: "It was a Fish Lizard type dinosaur"Layla: "Oh Yes. It was called a Thesaurus!!"

You have been informed. Make the necessary changes in your history books.

Wow. It has been long since I last posted. Spring hit us by surprise and sometime in there we had a brief preview of Summer as well. But that is behind us as the temperatures plummeted again reminding us that it is well and truly spring.This sort of upset my DIY/Reno clock as my mind shifted to outdoor projects. Lynda wants the flower beds in a perfect line. I want a brand new utility shed. She wants the foot of the garden tended to. I want to build a brand new outdoor kitchen in time for summer grilling. She wants the deck area revamped. I want a new recycling centre to keep the blue bins hidden & I want to raise the height of the rear gate and fence.So much to do with so little time. The girls needed the cycles maintained and I did that. Now they want to cycle to school!!!Where do I begin?May the Fourth be with Me!!!
